REVIEW LIGHTNING ROUND (SNACK BAR EDITION) – 2/7/2013

Here are some quick reviews of new snack bars we’re too lazy to write full reviews for:

Item: Kellogg’s Nutri-Grain Strawberry Parfait Fruit Crunch Granola BarsPurchased Price: $2.79Size: 5 packPurchased at: TargetRating: 5 out of 10Pros: Pretty much tastes like a regular granola bar. Crunchy. Has some fiber. It has dried cranberries. Thank goodness it’s not another Nutri-Grain cereal bar.Cons: Super long name. Strawberry may be in its long name, but strawberry flavor was lacking. Made with partially hydrogenated oils. Not sure eating a pack is worth the 20% of my daily recommended intake of saturated fat.Other reviews:Crazy Food Dude

Item: Kellogg’s Special K Berry Streusel Pastry CrispsPurchased Price: $3.79Size: 5 packPurchased at: TargetRating: 7 out of 10Pros: Flavor reminds me of a Pop-Tart. Nice berry flavor. 1000 times better tasting than regular Special K cereal. Crispy and light. Only 100 calories and two grams of fat per pack. Kind of makes me want to go on the Special K diet again.Cons: Flavor reminds me of a Pop-Tart. Why isn’t it called Blackberry Streusel since that’s the only berry in it? Contains no fiber. Makes me yearn for a Pop-Tart.
